Dear Madam:
I advise you from the papers in the Revolutionary War pension claim, S. 23631, it appears that George Fisher was born in 1758, in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania.
While residing in Whitepain Township, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, he enlisted and served as a private with the Pennsylvania Troops as follows:
From in August 1776 two months in Captain McLean's Company, Colonel Bull's Regiment; from in May 1777 four months in Colonel Daniel Heister's Regiment, and from in October 1777 four months under General Potter.
He was allowed pension on his application executed December 4, 1832, at which time he resided in North Whitehall Township, Lehigh County, Pennsylvania, to which place he had moved soon after the Revolution.
There are no data concerning his family.

The above noted is the only soldier named George Fisher, of Pennsylvania, that is found on the Revolutionary War records of this Bureau; and said records fail to afford any information in regard to a soldier by that name who served with the North Carolina Troops, or to Melchior Fisher, or to any soldier surnamed Fischer.
Very truly yours,
EARL D. CHURCH Commissioner.
